RE: 1820 Main
The project has been given tentative approval with conditions, based on the plot plan submitted on December 29. To
receive final approval, the final plot plan will need to be in significant conformance with the tentative approval. Submit
the final plot plan with any changes you wish to make. If the plot plan complies with SDC 5.15-120 and any other
applicable law, it will be approved. If it needs to be revised, you can make changes and resubmit it. The more changes
that are made from the original submittal, the more time I will need for the review. Public works will need to review the
changes as well.
I will discuss temporary occupancy with Robert.

Steve,
Here are the answers to your questions. The nest step in the process is to submit 3 copies of the final plot plan. I will
verify the plot plan has been revised to reflect the conditions, then the development agreem~n~.signed. Amy at SUB is

re~Wing the DWP application. After it is approved, the building permit can issue1!nd you can begin improvements to
dthe garage portion.
The owner (Mark Worman) is interested in knowing why, since two previous MDS's on the same site did
not address the ornamental fencing, why it has become an issue now?
The previous applications did not address the fencing because:
. the applicant did not propose any change to the fencing
If the applicant does not propose any changes to the fencing, can we leave everything as it is? The only minor chonges to the
fence olignment was for safety concerns, with proper VCT's at the entries. Since the last two MDS's did not require VCT
alteration, is Mark on the hook for those now?
. the use did not involve car repair
All the repair is interior to the building and does not affect the site. The current operation can be inspected for this, and it
indicates a well kept street-side.
. the ornamental fence is in place of perimeter landscaping.
The fence has been here for the last two MDS reviews. Parking requirements are not changed (actually reduced)
. the previous MDS applications did not propose removal of any trees
This tree removal is at the request of staff.
The owner will not have a dumpster, as he recycles everything in weekly or bi-weekly trips to recycling
centers himself. is there a problem with eliminating dumpster locations all
together?
A dumpster can be eliminated if you demonstrate how 100% of the office and garage waste will be recycled. This will be
required with the final plot plan, and will be coordinated with the DWP application. Your proposal will need to
demonstrate compliance with Chapter 3.00 of the City's Engineering Design Stondards and Procedures Manual as well as
3.3-200 of the Springfield Development Code. If you wish to pursue this option, submit a proposal with the final plot
plan.
It mokes sense to do this, as the trash generation is pretty small. Currently the owner uses an enclosed pickup truck
which he loads with the cardboard and paper packaging.
Can the owner occupy the office portions of the building at this time, as the use for this area has not
changed? Do all MDS conditions have to be met prior to the occupancy of the rear? .
Refer to SDC 5.15-120: "Final occupancy is contingent upon the completion of requir.ed site improvements." This
requires all MDS conditions to be met prior to occupancy of any portion of the building. In addition, the DWP
application must be approved prior occupancy of the rear (garage) portion of the building. Refer to the letter dated
January 11.
A temporary occupancy is at the discretion of staff. Will staff grant a TO?
Let me know if you have any questions.
Steve

Scott,
The MDS decision for Welby's on 1820 Main is attached. As you requested, I looked for other MDS
applications at this site. There were two. One was in January 2005 for a used car lot. The other was in
November 2006 for a multi use retail sales and real estate office. Those applications did not propose any
changes to the building or to the site. The required improvements for those applications included filters in
the stormwater catch basins, bicycle parking, a street tree, and a screened trash enclosure.
Let me know if you have any questions.
